The

features that fans of the Modern Sporting Rifle demand.

The
AR556 is direct impingement gas-operated with a 16-inch 1:8
hammer-forged barrel threaded 1/2x28. Also featured is a
windage-adjustable rear flip-up sight, a six-position telescoping
M4-style buttstock with a Mil-Spec buffer tube, M4 feed ramps, a
matte Type III hard coat oxide finish, enlarged trigger guard, a
chrome-plated bolt carrier, and an A2-style front post sight with
elevation adjustment, a bayonet lug and a Q/D attachment socket. This
rifle also comes with one 30-round Magpul PMAG.

Andrew, Buds usually does not open/alter new firearms packages including Magazines. I have heard from members that some Customer Service Reps have offered this if the magazine was the only thing blocking State compliance so I would contact Buds to see whether they will or not at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

Mitchell, I own all 4. Can't beat S&W, but they have change some features since I got mine. The Ruger and Core 15 have some good features, good warranties, all American made. Core 15 has up graded furniture on many models. Ruger goes on sale much more often. If you can wait to get a Ruger for under $500 great. If this is your first sporting rifle I would go Ruger.

I've got the Del-ton and have shot it a lot over the last 3 years with no problems. I pick up cleared rounds from malfunctions at the range and today put about 150 rounds that malfunctioned and had to be cleared from other guns (some had dents in them) through the Del-ton without any problem.

JHONNATAN, No this firearm is not legal to ship to the restricted state of NJ. Way too many prohibited features. The following are prohibited:
✘Semi-automatic rifles that are capable of receiving a detachable magazine and has at
least two of the following features:
1. Folding / telescoping stock
2. Pistol grip
3. Bayonet lug
4. Flash suppressor
5. Threaded barrel
6. Grenade launcher

I took my new Ruger AR 556 to the range today to sight it in, after having installed a scope on it. I fired only one box of ammo, but the rifle functioned perfectly, and was a lot of fun to shoot. The accuracy was good as well. I am real happy with the rifle, and Bud\\\'s Gun Shop was once again great to do business with.

Ruger did a great job building this entry level \\\"budget\\\" AR. I love Ruger products and I am very pleased Ruger came out with a regular AR. The AR 556 does all the things you\\\'d expect from a modern sporting rifle and at an amazing price point.

Fully customizable, shoots like a breeze, this IS an everyman\\\\\\\'s AR. It was my first. Factory trigger doesn\\\\\\\'t have an amazing break but that\\\\\\\'s an easy and cheap replacement.\\r\\n\\r\\nShot about 200 rounds so far without a single jam or issue.

An excellent first choice for me. I have been looking at AR\\\'s for some time and did not want to drop a lot of $$$. The Ruger exceeds my expectations in every way.\r\nI have made several purchases from bud\\\'s and every interaction has been positive and the prices can not be beat. Shipping is usually free and shipped to my Local FFL quickly.\r\n5 Stars all the way

Have brought it home and have started doing my product review using the booklet provided by Ruger. While this is a new rifle for me I have had a long and excellent experience with Ruger dating back almost 60 years. No small reason why I made this purchase. I can say this rifle is well made with clean lines and I am looking forward to many years of usage. As a home defense rifle I feel I made an excellent choice. Wish I could say more but it will be several months before I can do a live fire trial due to recovery from surgery.\r\n\r\nMartin Keller

Ruger AR556 is a reliable out of the box basic black rifle. Excellent service & shipping from Bud\\\'s. Rifle has been shot about 300 rounds during one session with no problems. Buying another soon as a gift for my son-in-law.

Pleased with the rifle,haven;t shot it yet, but YOU TUBE videos of the rifle were stellar, and since it had 5R rifling I knew it would shoot very well.The only thing I do not like about it is the cheap alum front site,and the adjusting tool that isn\\\\\\\'t the same as Milspec GI.Also I know they had to gut corners somewhere to cheapen it up.\\r\\nThe two major issues where the lack of a nitirde finish, and a trigger I would never use.\\r\\nHas to be the HEAVIEST with the most grit and creep of any I ever owned.\\r\\nOnce I change this out that will fix that.Also they used cheap 4140 steel, I should have read the specs closer, 4150 is Milspec.\\r\\nYou guys did your job abd shipped promptly,so this is all I can say.I would prefer to have paid another $50.00 and got the cheap items on the rifle.

Ruger has a winner here. Quality is outstanding. As usual Bud\\\'s price with free shipping was untouchable. Shipment was quick and good packing. Thanks to all.
